Legal gender equality slips in the Philippines LEGAL GENDER EQUALITY in the Philippines regressed as no new reforms were implemented since late 2019, a World Bank study showed.
The World Banks Women, Business and the Law (WBL) 2021 report, which identifies the laws and regulations restricting economic opportunity for women across 190 economies, showed the Philippines score stood at 78.8 out of 100. This was lower than its 81.3 score in the previous years report.

DOLE looking to grant 3-month wage subsidy for workers MANILA, Philippines-The Department of Labor and Employment is planning to provide a three-month wage subsidy for workers.
In a virtual press conference Friday, Assistant Secretary Dominique Tutay said the wage subsidy is meant to help cushion the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We based the budget proposal on the average wage of the workers in different sectors, said Tutay. It is between PHP7,000 to PHP11,000 subsidy and it will run for three months.
She added that DOLE would need at least P62 billion, and P180 billion at most, from the Department of Budget and Management to fund the project with 25 percent of the workers’ wage set to be subsidized.
So if it will run for three months and let us say we will shoulder 25 percent of the average wage, PHP62 billion the lowest we will request, said Tutay. |

ALU-TUCP, hindi muna maghahain ng petisyon para sa umento sa sahod METRO MANILA-Naiintindihan ng grupo ng mga manggagawa ang situwasyon ngayong panahon ng pandemya kaya’t hindi muna sila hihiling ng dagdag sahod.
Yung mga manggagawa at yung mga negosyante ay lubhang apektado nitong pandemic crisis na ito. Kung kayat sa aming assessment hindi pa napapanahon ang pag file ng wage increase petition sa panahong ito ani Spokesperson, ALU-TUCP Alan Tanjusay.
Pero ilang mga kahilingang ang inilatag ng grupo sa pamahalaan.
Una ang pagpapatupad ng price freeze sa mga pangunahing bilihin para hindi na madagdagan ang bigat sa kanilang bulsa.
Pero dapat aniyang maging mahigpit dito ang mga otoridad para maging epektibo ito.
Batay kasi doon sa experience natin noong nakaraang taon kahit nag order si Pangulong Duterte ng price freeze |

Filipinos lost P1.4T in income due to 2020 lockdown restrictions-NEDA The Philippines can no longer afford any prolonged quarantine as families lost some P1.4 trillion in 2020 due to lockdown restrictions, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) reported Thursday.
In a virtual briefing, Acting Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua said the quarantine removed P801 billion of spending in 2020, equivalent to P2.2 billion daily. Factoring in the impact on jobs and the multiplier effect, losses are estimated at P1.4 trillion or P2.8 billion a day.
Such quarantine restrictions led to an average annual income loss of P23,000 per worker, but the average level masks wide differences across sectors and jobs, and some workers are hit harder, especially those who lost employment. |
